KEY SCRIPTURE: John 17:17 KJV” Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth.”

We continue with our discussion on being sanctified by the word. The world and its system is controlled by its god, who is Satan. The Bible describes him vividly in John 8:44 as follows;” Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar and the father of it.” The scripture says Satan is a murderer. He murders by deceiving his victims. Whatever he says is a lie, for he is the father of liars. The Bible says he has deceived the whole world. (Rev 12:9). To be free from this gross deceit, you need to be sanctified by the truth, and God’s word is the only truth.

Satan uses deceit to take men captive. Scripture cautions us to be aware lest we are taken captive. Col 2:8. This LGBTQ + craze is a sign that he has grossly deceived mankind. The only way to outwit him is to walk in the truth. The child of God must develop a very strong confidence in the word, as well as a good knowledge of the word of God. A consideration of the armour of God for the Christian is all about applying the word of God, in various ways to defend yourself against Satan’s craftiness and deceit.

One important way of making use of the word is a meditation on the word of God.

Meditation brings you into the world of the word. It establishes the word within your conscious and subconscious mind, as well as filling your heart. This makes applying the word very normal and easy. In meditation, you turn from everything both within and without, to fill your mind and heart with the word. You may do it by saying the word of God, to yourself at a very low tone. Keep repeating that particular word for as long as you choose. Let the word bath you as staying under a waterfall. Repeat this practice at other times. Be very consistent with it. 0n doing this over a considerable length of time, it would simply make you unmovable, and ready to overcome every onslaught of Satan.

THOUGHT: FLOOD YOUR SPIRIT AND SOUL WITH THE WORD, AND YOU WILL MAKE SUCCESS YOUR EXPERIENCE.
